The first shot of the first Star Wars film is amazing. Groundbreaking at the time and still hugely effective now, the opening Star Destroyer fly-by is dramatic, ominous and awe-inspiring all at the same time.

It's awesome, but we wanted it to be awesomer. Being massive fans of videogame music, we saw only one option, but could we find a track to beat the threatening bombast of John Williams' original score?

Hell yes we could. Over to Mario...

And there’s more where that came from. We’re cooking up a whole load of movie/game music mash-ups, including (amongst others) the likes of Reservoir Dogs, The Matrix and The Terminator. This first one is just a taster of what’s to come, so tune in at the same time next Friday for more.
